How does a person become a saint according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

A person becomes a saint through God's will, the work of Christ, and the regeneration by the Holy Spirit.

The process of becoming a saint, as articulated in the New Testament, involves several key elements. First, it is through the will of God that individuals are chosen for salvation and sanctification (Ephesians 1:4). Secondly, Christ’s sacrificial death reconciles believers, removing their sins and qualifying them as holy in God's sight (Colossians 1:21). Lastly, the transformative work of the Holy Spirit is essential; He regenerates the believer, imparting a new nature that is free from sin (Titus 3:5). Hence, becoming a saint is directly attributed to God’s sovereign grace, demonstrating that holiness and sainthood are not achieved by human works but are gifts bestowed by a loving God through faith in Jesus Christ.
